My journey to helping others sort through the clutter of modern life...
In 1986 my husband Mike & I created
a company called Coastal Closets. Started it from the ground up actually. We not only designed
closet systems, we designed all the "systems" that go into running a business, starting with the initial customer contact, all the way to vacuuming the stray drywall dust after an installation was complete.
You name it we, figured out how to do it! Most often by making lots of mistakes! But we were passionate about what we were doing, and eventually we were leading a support staff of 6 people, sent two big trucks out every day, and grew into a company with annual sales that approached a half million dollars.
In 2000, even though things were running like "everyone says a successful business should", we knew changes needed to be made. We wanted it to be easier. We wanted time for our family. We wanted time to breathe. Finally, using a way much different than before, we fashioned a business plan that included big open spaces to enjoy the other parts of our Life.
Mike decided he liked the "new" Coastal Closets and wanted to keep at it a while longer. I decided I needed to branch out. It all started when one day I realized that my happiest hours designing closet systems were
when I was actually in the closet with the client!
When I finally stopped
to think about why, I discovered it was because my way of designing
closet systems always seemed to drop down from the surface solutions
to clutter into fascinating discussions with my clients about
the meaning of it all.
So since I naturally
connect with most people this way, I decided to 'come out of the
closet' so to speak and start sharing my insights on the deeper
meaning of clutter with a larger audience. It was just about then that the term "Life Coach" appeared on my radar screen. Things moved pretty quickly after that, which was also the beginning of my realization that when we're following our purpose, Life cooperates at an amazing pace.
Through an incredible series of synchronistic events, I went back to school in 2002 and studied to become a credentialed Life Coach, a designation I earned in 2003.
And what about the money? While it's true our gross income decreased after we changed the way we operated Coastal Closets, the fascinating part is the net income our family now receives (meaning after all expenses are paid) is now more than when we were supporting all the things (including governmental regulations) that are currently recognized as being part of a "successful business"!
In a nutshell, here is the most important thing I've learned from having the opportunity to both grow —and prune —a business:
Simplicity made us richer in both money and time...
But enough about me. Let's get back to the type of clutter that drew you to this page...piles and piles of STUFF!
Yes indeed, there are
plenty of wonderful systems out here for corralling and controlling
stuff, and I truly love designing them! I also know from
first hand experience that even the best systems will not solve
the problem unless you truly 'get' what clutter is really about.
Before I go on, please
know that I'm not against having 'stuff'. In my humble opinion
we actually need stuff in our lives to remind us of who we are. It's a perfect way to inspire us to go out and Be that way.
Where we run into trouble
though, is when we think we must keep everything
we collect/create during each stage of our lives lest we forget
our experiences, have nothing to pass on, or — heaven forbid— need it some day!
Then, if we also think we must
keep everything (for all
the same reasons and maybe more) collected/created by our kids,
our parents, their parents, and on and on and on...
Well, I'm guessing you
get the picture of how our once treasured 'stuff' can become quite
burdensome.
Here
is a quick overview of my method to 'getting' to the root of
clutter.
First you are introduced to the concept that every 'thing' in life holds energy that either energizes or drains our energy level.
Then step, by micro step, you learn how to tap into the energy of your 'things'.
Next, you schedule a bit of time each week to practice this fun new skill along with a simple, '3-D Way' to weed out what stays and what goes.
Finally, you create workable systems to maintain a harmonious flow of energy throughout your environment for decades to come.
Ahhhhh... Feel It? Finally! A Home Sweet Home in every sense of the word!
